See the video link of the news report of proceedings below. It should also give you an idea of what the surrounding area looks like.

Seli 1 'must go'


Navy tries to sink Seli-One.

Today turned out to be an interesting one sitting at Pakalolo enjoying a drink and an awesome view. The South African Navy made several attempts blow up the remains of the Seli 1 wreck. Truth be told I had been wondering whether the idea was feasible just last week!!!

Wild flowers on the West Coast!!!

It's that time of the year again when spring time is near and already there are reports of wild flowers springing up on the West Coast.

From Cape Town to Clanwilliam and everywhere in between, the incredible biodiversity attracts locals and tourists alike to the splendor of nature at its best. Within an hour from Cape Town you could be enveloped by the spectacle.

Things kick off with the 95th annual Daring Wild Flower Show held on the third weekend in September will run for the 14th to the 16th.
